My name is Zhang Wei and I am 60 years old this year. Retired at home for many years, life is calm and comfortable. My greatest pleasure is to accompany my wife Li Hong, we have been married for 40 years, and we are very sweet in love. Li Hong has a good temper, is kind and kind, and has never quarreled as a husband and wife for so many years. The children also started families. The eldest daughter Xiaofang, 35 years old this year, is married to Wang Qiang, who works in sales in a foreign company, and the younger two have a good relationship.
A few days ago, Xiaofang suddenly called me and told me that she had bought a new house with full money! I was very happy to hear it and congratulated me repeatedly. As a father, I am immensely proud of my daughter's achievements. Xiaofang said: "Dad, Qiang Qiang and I have saved money for several years, plus the bonus of his work, we finally have the ability to buy our own house!" It was our first home, on the outskirts of town, in a lovely setting. I smiled and said, "Good boy, you two have worked hard!" This good news must be told to your mother, she will be happy. Listening to Xiaofang's tone, I could feel her joy and excitement. I repeatedly told her to pay attention to signing the contract when buying a house, to go through the procedures carefully, and to tell me if there is any help you need.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately went to Li Hong and told her the good news. Li Hong said in surprise: "Our family Xiaofang finally has her own house!" What a delight! Saying that, Li Hong's eyes were red, and she could see her care and pride for her daughter as a mother. In the evening, the family had a good meal happily and drank some wine to celebrate the purchase of a house for Xiaofang.
A few days later, I suddenly received a call from Xiaofang, and the low tone in her tone made me feel that something was not right. I asked her with concern, "Xiaofang, what's wrong?" Your tone doesn't sound very happy. Xiaofang then confided the truth to me, it turned out that after buying the new house, she and her husband had little left. Not only that, Wang Qiang's company has also had problems recently, sales performance has declined, and the position is a bit precarious. After hearing this, my heart was torn, how could my daughter suddenly encounter such difficulties!
I advised her: "Xiaofang, don't worry first, if there is any problem, our family will solve it slowly." What are you going to do? Need my help? Xiaofang said with some self-blame and sadness: "Dad, I'm sorry, we made a wrong decision to buy a house this time, and we didn't expect such a result." You and Mom are old, and I can't bear to come to you for help again. ”
I know that Xiaofang has a strong personality, has been very independent since childhood, and does not like to rely on others. I thought about it and said, "Xiaofang, don't worry, leave this problem to me." You concentrate on your work and take care of your body. As a father, I will support you in any way I can. ”
Listening to me say this, Xiaofang was silent for a while, as if trying to control her emotions. After a while, she finally spoke: "Dad, thank you!" I know this is also a sudden blow to you and Mom, I'm really sorry. You said you wanted to support me, and I felt a little better. I will find a way to make money to pay off the loan, and I must not let you and your mother worry about this. ”
I know Xiaofang's personality, and once I make up my mind, I will give it my all. I persuaded her with concern that life will always have ups and downs, and that she is still young and will slowly get out of the predicament. I also told her not to work too hard and to pay attention to her body.
Hung up the phone, I sat alone quietly for a while. As a father, I really can't bear to see my daughter encounter such a predicament, and my heart is flustered and worried. After thinking about it, I can't hang my head at this time, and it's not good for Xiaofang. I have to pick myself up and find a way to give Xiaofang some substantial help.
The next day I started working, asking around if there was any temporary work. After being introduced, I came to a courier company and started working as a part-time courier, responsible for local courier delivery. The job is hard, but the pay is good, and it is very. I work during the day and go home at night to get a good night's sleep and not let the job affect my body. Li Hong was worried about me at first, but seeing my positive and optimistic attitude, he stopped saying anything.
Usually, when I receive a call from Xiaofang to greet her, I will find a way to send her from the beginning and not let her know about my part-time work. I know her character, and if I knew I worked for her, her self-blame would be even deeper. I want to lighten her burden as much as possible. When I get my salary every month, I will remit a part to Xiaofang, tell her that this is what I saved from my pension, and tell her to use it with confidence.
I also take on temporary jobs such as repairing appliances and cleaning, and I will do it whenever I can make money. Li Hong sometimes saw that I was tired when I came back at night, and persuaded me distressedly: "You are not young either, don't break down your body for Xiaofang." I knew she cared about me, so I smiled and reassured her that I was okay. Seeing my daughter get through the hard work is nothing to me.
When people reach old age, Li Hong and I rarely have big luxury, and we just want our children to be safe and healthy. I also started learning to save money, do some household chores on my own, and squeeze in more time for work. As Li Hong said, I am not young anymore, and I can't work as hard as a young man. But I know that as long as I can stand up, I will do my best to support my daughter. I believe that with the solidarity of our family, we will always be able to get through this difficult time.
Day after day, I insisted on this hard-working rhythm of life, and I also saw that Xiaofang's situation was slowly improving. Although her company's performance declined, the boss still valued her more and did not really fire her. Xiaofang herself also took the initiative to work overtime in an attempt to perform. The money I send her every month also relieves her a lot of burden.
After another half a year, my life of housework and part-time work was on track. Although Li Hong was worried that I was overworked, she also understood my desire to help my daughter, so she expressed her support and understanding for my work arrangement.
However, at this time, I had a physical problem. At first, I felt overworked, but recently I often feel tightness in my chest. Li Hong advised me to go to the hospital for a check-up, but I didn't want to affect my work, so I kept going. Until one night, I suddenly saw darkness in front of my home and almost fell. Li Hong was frightened and quickly called an ambulance. I had various tests in the hospital and the results showed that my heart was severe and needed immediate surgery to improve.
When the doctor told me I needed surgery, my first reaction was to worry about Xiaofang. Will my illness blow her too hard? Her elderly father needed such a major operation, and she would surely blame herself for being the culprit. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel like a knife in my heart.
Li Hong's red eyes persuaded me: "The most important thing for you now is to cure yourself, don't think about anything else!" I will find an opportunity to tell Xiaofang slowly so that she can be mentally prepared. You can concentrate on cooperating with the doctor. I nodded, knowing that Li Hong would handle this matter.
After admission, I tried to maintain an optimistic attitude and cooperate with the treatment strictly according to the doctor's instructions. After a week of preparation, I was in good shape on the day of the major surgery. Li Hong was by her side, watching me being pushed into the operating room and watching me leave. I squeezed a smile out of her face to indicate that I would be fine.
The surgery went smoothly and although I was under general anesthesia, the doctors later said that the procedure was very successful. Li Hong stayed outside the operating room until the doctor came out to tell her that everything was going well, and she breathed a sigh of relief. I woke up from anesthesia and immediately wondered if Xiaofang had received the news and whether she would blame herself too much. Li Hong comforted me, she only briefly told Xiaofang that I had a small operation, so that she should not worry. I listened and was relieved.
After a few days, I recovered well and was finally able to discharge home from the hospital. Li Hong drove to the hospital to pick me up, shushing me all the way, afraid that I would not feel well. I patted her hand to show that I was really better.
When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to see Xiaofang here too! It turned out that as soon as she got the news, she bought a plane ticket and came back to see me. The moment I saw my father, Xiaofang ran over and hugged me with red eyes, and I could feel her sobbing softly.
I comforted her and said, "Xiaofang, don't worry, Dad is just doing a small operation." You see that the person has returned, and he is in good spirits! ”
Xiaofang couldn't help but say sadly: "Dad, if I hadn't bought a house and dragged you and your mother down, you wouldn't have been overworked to get sick." What a sin! ”
I quickly stopped her self-blame and said seriously: "You don't need a daughter to take responsibility for adult affairs." You just have to take care of yourself, and your mother and I can handle the rest. Buying a house is your decision and strong, and it's okay with us. The most important thing now is that we are together as a family and care for each other. ”
Li Hong also advised Xiaofang not to think about the past, and the important thing now is to accompany her father well. Xiao Fangcai wiped away her tears and no longer blamed herself.
In the past few days, Xiaofang has taken good care of me and Li Hong at home and served us comfortably. She cooks by herself every day and makes a lot of delicious food to replenish her body. I saw my daughter so filial, and I was very happy to see my daughter.
Through this incident, I can feel that Xiaofang has matured a lot. She began to think about her responsibilities as a wife and mother. In the past, she was too engaged in work and neglected her family. This time she told me that she decided to follow my advice and reduce her working hours outside the home and focus more on taking care of her husband and children. I nodded in agreement and told her that as a woman, the family needs her company even more.
In this way, with the warm relationship of the family, I spent the first month of convalescence. Everyone tries to stay positive, which helps me a lot to recover. I was finally able to gradually return to my normal life, going out for walks and participating in some community activities. The haze of the past gradually dissipated, and when I saw my family complete, I felt that my life was complete.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a few more years passed. Today is my 65th birthday, Xiaofang's family came back to celebrate my birthday, we have been reunited as a family for a long time, and the atmosphere is warm and cheerful.
In recent years, Li Hong and I have lived a peaceful retirement life, and our health is also good. There have also been a lot of changes on Xiaofang's side. After that house buying incident, she really quit her job and concentrated on being at home with her husband and children. Now she is a mother of two, the eldest is in elementary school, and the younger is still in kindergarten. Xiaofang's whole person also seemed very fulfilling, no longer the frown that was always frowned when she worked before, replaced by a happy light.
I pulled Xiaofang to sit down and said with a smile: "Now you are really a housewife!" Children are smart and cute. ”
Xiao Fang nodded and said, "You're right, I'm having a good time now." In the blink of an eye, the children grew so big, I felt as if I had become a wife and mother overnight. ”
Li Hong also showed a kind smile and said: "As a woman, it is the most contenting to have a warm home and lovely children." We are all happy for you! ”
Xiaofang's husband Wang Qiang is still considerate of her as always. He is also working more and more smoothly, saying that he will definitely take his family on a trip when he has the opportunity in the future. I was relieved to see how happy they were.
Dinner was a sumptuous birthday banquet, Xiaofang made my specialty, everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was lively. At this time, the two young grandchildren also ran over, begging their grandparents to play games with them. I couldn't help but tease the little ones, thinking that being able to get along with them was the greatest enjoyment of my old bone.
Looking at the innocent smiling faces of my grandchildren, I can't help but think back to how many years ago, Xiaofang was very troubled about buying a house. The path of life is indeed peaceful, but it will pass. Today's picture of a happy family is exactly what I want. I felt that even though there were hardships, the results were good, and I was satisfied.
I have experienced many winds and waves in this life, but none of them have broken me. Because I know that the solidarity of my family is my greatest pillar and motivation. Today, I want to say to Xiaofang, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that Dad will always accompany you through difficulties. But I just look at her tenderly now, and a sense of pride and relief rises in my heart.
